German term or phrase: hinter
Appears frequently in descriptions of thermotechnical applications, when describing the position of two parts of the application within the circulation. I usually use following, but since i never saw it used by someone else, i want to make sure.

downstream of, downstream from
Explanation:
z.B.in einem oil circuit

an air/oil heat exchanger connected to the first closed oil circuit to pass oil in heat exchange relationship with air, an oil/fuel heat exchanger connected to the fuel circuit and to the first closed oil circuit downstream of the air/oil heat exchanger to pass oil and fuel in heat exchange relationship, and an oil/oil heat exchanger connected to the first and second closed oil circuits to pass oil in heat exchange relationship, the connection to the first closed oil circuit being downstream of the oil/fuel heat exchanger.

oder hinter einer Pumpe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metering_pump
if there is any stop valve downstream of the pump, a pressure relief valve should be placed in between to prevent overpressuring of the tubing or piping line in case the stop valve is inadvertently shut while the pump is running.
(Abschnitt "Possible problems")

Das entsprechende "vor" wird übrigens häufig mit upstream übersetzt.

Hier noch ein Beispiel für die Verwendung von "downstream" (und upstream) in Verbindung mit einem Kessel:

injecting tertiary combustion air into the boiler downstream of the precombustion chamber and upstream of the heat exchanger.
